Popeular History: A Catholic History of the World

In which Gregg reads Nehemiah 3:1-32 (Literally A Detailed Description of the Gates of Jerusalem and Who Fixed Them in the Time of Nehemiah)
With bonus content from Second Maccabees

Update: episodes 0-0.4 have been remastered and rerecorded, episode 0.7 will be coming later today- the deuterocanon overview will be the longest episode yet by a fair bit! I nearly split it but it seemed best to keep the deuterocanon all together. Feel free to listen in chunks, I'm expecting about 75-90 minutes once I finish editing it down from the raw recording.
